Glad We Chose Gladney

November is National Adoption Month, so in the spirit of celebrating adoption I'd like to spotlight our agency, Gladney, and how wonderful they have been. We were initially drawn to our agency for their strong traditions and dedication to the adoption cause, both domestically and internationally. Gladney is truly a pioneer and has been working for over 120 years to support children, adoptive families, and birth parents. Their heritage is very interesting, which you can read more about here. In addition to their rich history, we were also drawn to their supportive nature, which has not only been evident in the beginning stages of the adoption process but will continue long after we bring Baby E home. We have joined our local Gladney Family Association (GFA) and are looking forward to growing even closer to our Gladney family. We recently attended a GFA event in Raleigh where we met several wonderful Gladney families and also had conversations with Gladney's President, Frank Garrott, who flew in from Texas. It was very encouraging to hear first-hand information about the future of Gladney, specifically their vision of continuing humanitarian aid all around the world for years to come.
